Some modules better suited for different power tubes?

[QUOTE="3 Mile Stone, post: 8404, member: 259"] I went with the 6V6 for this very reason. Too much contrast from the EL34 and 6L6 and I couldn't get both the clean and the dirt I wanted. 6V6 probably leans slightly to the 6L6 side but it is possible to get my JTM, SL, Plexi and EG3 mods to sound right with them. They are not as thick but they take on another demension that EL34 does not give them as a bonus. Hard to describe but they sound even more boutique or special. When I talked with Frank about what tubes split the difference between the 6L6 and the EL34 he said go with 5881. I'm watching a set on eBay right now. I'll let you know ho wthat works out. I'm looking to get back a little of that EL34 tone if I can. [/QUOTE]
